Aaay Indy, sorry to hear about your situation down there.
I don't know about the bolts, but I'd think that if they came for your seats n' were thwarted by anythin' short of a 160 lb. Rottweiller r' a 357, before they left, they might be inclined to lay waste to your ride.
I'm not sayin' that you shouldn't do what you can to prevent ridin' 'roun' on a milk crate. I'm sure you're doin' everythin' you can to park only in safe areas, doin' whatever's necessary to protect the car from any entry at all (if that's physically possible) .
Yeah. I know. In a perfect world. (In a perfect world we'd have somethin' like the commercial that they had in RoboCop where they fry the car thieves. I'd sit aroun' in a lawn chair n' attend that.)
But, once they're in it n' find that they can't get what they want, they're likely not to be in the best'a moods. What's left'a the seats (N' anythin' else that can be damaged) probably won't be worth keepin'.
If it's at all possible, go with somethin' that's gonna keep 'em from gettin' to the car, r' unable to do that, somethin' that's gonna make your alarm so loud that I'm gonna hear it up here in Joisey.
'Comes under the headin' of "Rock-n'-a-Hard-Place".
Good luck with it Ind n' keep us posted.
Be well.
